Beauty to Perfekt-tion with @PerfektBeauty
I’m always on the hunt for the next best thing when it comes to barely-there cosmetics. I’m all for the “fresh-faced” beauty trend this season, but with less than perfect skin, its hard to achieve a natural, clean look without piling on the products. Especially during the hot summer months, cake-y, oil-based foundations and concealers are the last thing I want to put on my face (only to sweat it all off by noon). So, during a fluke visit to Henri Bendel with my sister last week, I was introduced to the Per-fekt Beauty line of lightweight cosmetics-my new summer cosmetic OBSESSION.
Per-fekt Cosmetics is a lightweight, sweat-proof, and summer friendly line of cosmetics created with the working woman in mind. In today’s fast-paced world, its hard to get the coverage you need in the short amount of getting-ready time we have in the morning. With face, body, lip, cheek, and eye products, Per-fekt Beauty has all the bases covered!
Skin Perfection Gel
Eye Perfection Gel
Lip Perfection Gel
The Skin Perfection Gel is the perfect multi-tasker, instantly enhancing the appearance of the skin, offering an easy alternative to traditional foundation, primer, color corrector and powder.
The Cheek Perfection Gel is a cheek-stain/creme that comes in two varieties–blush and bronzer. Try mixing both colors for a more subtle look.
The Body Perfection Gel — seriously the most amazing self-tanner I’ve ever seen! “Liquid Pantyhose”, this product evens and tones skin while covering veins and blemishes AND providing an all over healthy summer glow.
The Perfect Eye Collection consists of anti-aging under-eye concealer, brow perfecter, and mascara. Brighten, tame, and enhance your eyes.
The Lip Perfection Gel is a lightweight, silky smooth color gel that “per-fekts” and enhances the appearance of the lips offering a modern alternative to traditional lip stick, lip gloss and lip treatment. This multi-tasking color infused lip perfector glides on effortlessly to instantly improve the appearance of dry lips, chapped lips, lip lines, and thin lips, while offering perfect color and perfect application everytime.
Fresh-Faced to Perfekt-tion!
The Lovely Anne, Per-fekt Counter Manager at Henri Bendel, NYC
Per-fekt Beauty is honestly one of my favorite cosmetics lines for the summer. Even after a long day in the city, my makeup still looked as flawless as it did in the morning! With a mousse-like consistency, the Face Perfection Gel left my skin as soft as ever, and I was impressed with the matte application (goodbye blotting paper!). The Body Perfection Gel was also pretty impressive. It left a sun kissed glow and the best part about it all – it doesn’t wipe off! Once it’s on, it’s on for good, or until you wash it off. No more makeup marks on your freshly laundered clothing. No complaints here! 🙂
So if you’re looking to switch up your makeup routine, or, like me, want a smooth, lightweight look for the summer, try Per-fekt Beauty! Order online or visit Anne at the Henri Bendel Counter, 712 5th Avenue, NYC. It’ll soon become a favorite of yours too!
